7 Best Sleek Alternatives in Hong Kong [2026]

Sleek is one of the most visible incorporation providers in Hong Kong, and on published prices it's the cheapest we've compared for a non-resident founder with one shareholder, at about HKD 12,600 over two years. If your company will stay that simple, it's a reasonable choice.

Founders usually look elsewhere when the company changes, the accounting bill grows, or they want a business account from the same provider. This guide covers those reasons, traced to Sleek's own Hong Kong pages and terms, then compares seven licensed alternatives and explains how to switch.

At a Glance

Statrys is one of the alternatives, so we have a stake in this. We say where a competitor, Sleek included, is cheaper.

Why Founders Look for a Sleek Alternative

These come from Sleek's own Hong Kong pages and terms.

1. Company changes cost extra. Sleek's Standard company secretary plan is HKD 1,300 a year for one shareholder, rising to HKD 1,900 for two and HKD 2,300 for three to five. On Standard, "each director or share change is HK$2,500 per event". The Premium plan that includes changes starts at HKD 3,800 a year. For a company that adds a co-founder or an investor, the low secretary price doesn't last.

2. Accounting and audit are priced by your spending, and can be re-priced later. Sleek's accounting page says "Prices are gated by your average monthly business expenses". Its terms (the second clause 7.12) add that if you "exceed the prescribed usage of a Subscription Package", Sleek may, "even following the lapse of the relevant subscription period", upgrade the package and charge your card. "Prescribed usage" isn't defined. A busy year can mean a bigger bill after it ends.

3. There's no in-house business account. Sleek Hong Kong introduces you to its partners, Airwallex and Aspire, "subject to approval". Each runs its own checks and can decline a company that already exists.

4. The refund terms don't match the homepage. Sleek's Hong Kong homepage offers a "30-day Money Back Guarantee": "If you're not satisfied, we'll make it right – or refund you within 30 days." Its terms don't mention that guarantee. The first clause 7.12 says prepaid fees are "strictly non-refundable under any circumstances, unless otherwise stated by Sleek", and clause 10.4 allows a pro-rata refund only if you end the service "because of clear negligence and/or material default by Sleek". Its liability is capped at HKD 10,000 or a year's fees, "whichever is lower" (clause 8.5).

5. The reviews say little about Hong Kong, and what they say is mixed. Sleek is rated 4.3 on Trustpilot from 3,841 reviews, most of which concern its other markets, particularly the UK. Recent low-star reviews about Sleek Hong Kong describe a Business Registration renewal missed twice, a tax return not filed, an audit unfinished almost a year after payment, and Hong Kong enquiries routed to the Singapore team.

None of this makes Sleek a poor provider, and some of these terms are common in subscription contracts.

Two-Year Cost Compared With Sleek

Take a founder living outside Hong Kong, one director who's also the only shareholder, using the provider's registered address and company secretary, with their own accountant. Every price is the provider's own published figure. US dollar prices are converted at HKD 7.8, the middle of the band the Hong Kong Monetary Authority holds the Hong Kong dollar within (HKD 7.75 to 7.85 per US dollar).

Sleek's total holds only while the company stays simple. Add one director change in year two and Sleek's two-year total becomes about HKD 15,100, above BBCIncorp and Statrys. Add a second shareholder and its secretary fee rises by HKD 600 a year.

With accounting and the audit, Sleek is still competitive at low volumes: its Basic accounting (HKD 3,500 list, HKD 2,975 on its current offer) plus Standard audit (HKD 5,500) comes to about HKD 9,000 a year for a company spending under HKD 15,000 a month. Statrys' accounting includes bookkeeping, the audit, and tax filing in every tier, from HKD 891.67 a month based on your monthly transactions. The difference is how each price moves: Sleek's with your spending, and after the year if you exceed your tier; Statrys' with your transaction count. Ask both for a quote on your expected activity.

Business Account Help Compared

A Hong Kong company can't easily get paid by clients or pay suppliers until it has a business account, and for a founder outside Hong Kong it's the step most likely to stall.

A referral means a third party runs its own checks and can decline you after your company already exists. An in-house account is still subject to approval, but the team that set up your company already holds your documents.

The 7 Best Sleek Alternatives

Every provider below holds a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) licence, which you can check on the Companies Registry's register of TCSP licensees. For full profiles, including recent review analysis, see our best company incorporation services in Hong Kong.

1. Statrys: Best if You Want the Business Account and Accounting in the Same Place

Statrys (TCSP licence TC008677) charges HKD 7,875 for incorporation, including government fees, the registered address and company secretary for the first year, and company chops. The package includes an application for Statrys' own multi-currency business account, so the documents you provide for the company also go towards the account. Year two is HKD 6,966, all-in for the secretary, address, and Business Registration. Over 1,600 companies have been incorporated through Statrys.

Where it beats Sleek: its own multi-currency business account, accounting that includes the audit in every tier, and a 4.9 Trustpilot rating from 513 reviews.

Less ideal if: your company won't change and price is all that matters (Sleek and BBCIncorp cost less over two years), your transaction volume is high, since accounting fees rise with it, or you need visas or payroll.

2. Osome: Best for Lower Fees on Company Changes

Osome (TCSP licence TC006825) charges HKD 8,950 for its Comprehensive plan, with government fees, a first-year secretary, a registered address, and unlimited company changes in year one. From year two, its Essential secretary plan (sold with Osome’s accounting) charges HKD 660 per director or shareholder change and HKD 880 per share allotment or transfer. Year two costs HKD 7,300 to HKD 8,200 on Essential with Osome’s accounting, or HKD 9,500 on its Unlimited secretary plan, which includes changes.

Where it beats Sleek: company changes cost far less than Sleek's HKD 2,500 per event.

Less ideal if: you want the lowest renewal without bundling accounting, or reassurance from reviews.

Our Osome Hong Kong review covers its terms in detail, and our Osome alternatives page applies the same comparison.

3. BBCIncorp: Best for One Fixed Price in Both Years

BBCIncorp (BCorpsec Limited, TCSP licence TC009977) charges USD 899 for its Basic package, with government fees, the Business Registration Certificate, secretary and address, and the same USD 899 to renew.

Where it beats Sleek: one published all-in renewal, where Sleek's year two is a sum of separate fees.

Less ideal if: you want to avoid certified documents: it asks for a notarised or certified passport and recent address proof.

4. Air Corporate: Best for an All-Inclusive Price With a Strong Review Record

Air Corporate (TCSP licence TC008778) charges USD 1,070 for its All-Inclusive package and publishes a USD 955 renewal for the secretary, address, Business Registration, and Annual Return.

Where it beats Sleek: a 4.9 Trustpilot rating and a published all-in renewal covering the secretary, address, Business Registration, and Annual Return.

Less ideal if: you want prices in Hong Kong dollars, or a non-resident price below USD 1,070: its USD 90 Basic package is for Hong Kong residents only.

5. Get Started HK: Best for Neobank Referrals

Get Started HK (TCSP licence TC000807) charges USD 990 (HKD 7,700) for its Deluxe Pack, with the government fee, secretary and address for one year, and neobank referrals with a designated account manager.

Where it beats Sleek: neobank referrals with a designated account manager, where Sleek introduces you to two partners.

Less ideal if: you want your year-two price upfront (it isn't published), or you pay by card: it adds 4.7% for PayPal and 3.6% for Stripe.

6. FastLane by Encor: Best for Visas, Payroll, and Xero

FastLane by Encor (FastLane Consulting Limited, TCSP licence TC007714) prices incorporation by quote, based on your company structure and the services you need.

Where it beats Sleek: payroll, MPF, work visas, and audit from the same firm, plus Xero Platinum Partner status.

Less ideal if: you want a published price: FastLane quotes per client, so ask for a breakdown of both years, including government fees.

7. Acclime: Best for Businesses Expanding Across Asia

Acclime (Acclime Secretaries Limited, TCSP licence TC009500) quotes per client. Our Acclime review covers its terms in detail.

Where it beats Sleek: company secretary, accounting and tax, payroll, HR, and immigration across several Asian markets from one firm.

Less ideal if: you're a solo founder who wants a published price.

How to Switch From Sleek

If you already have a company with Sleek, moving it is mostly paperwork, but the timing matters more than with most providers because Sleek renews early. Here's what its Hong Kong terms say, and what the move involves.

Most providers handle steps 4 and 5 for you. Whoever you move to, ask for the year-two price in writing before you give notice.

Switching From Sleek to Statrys

Sleek’s renewal timing is what to plan around: it charges 30 days before your subscription ends, and prepaid fees aren’t refunded. Statrys’ switching terms are built around that.

• No switching fee, and nothing to pay until your company's next renewal date. Until then, Statrys covers the registered address, mail scanning, and company secretary at no charge.
• Statrys handles the paperwork. Its change of company secretary service prepares and files the forms, including the ND2A, and coordinates the handover of your company files. The switch is typically completed within three days once all required documents are submitted.
• Everything ends up with one provider. Once you've moved, you can apply for a Statrys multi-currency business account and add accounting, so your company, account, and books sit in one place.

Send Sleek your written notice more than 30 days before your subscription ends, then start the switch with Statrys.
